we haven't cut the defense budget much in the last 30 years. they just ordered new uniforms for their chauffeurs for the top brass. you know, this is going to be a lost opportunity if there's too much compromising going on here. i'm going to stick to my position we'd be off going over the cliff, the curb. it's a slope and not a cliff. i take krystal's point as a good point. you have to pick your time. the europeans are done too much with austerity. i think we can afford to do this, and we ought to make the down payment. the cliff doesn't fix the deficit, but it really does make a downpayment and gets defense cuts for the first time. you know damn well the defense won't get cut ifç they make a deal on this. >> in the "new york post" today a conservative columnist wrote the trut is every way you look at it, the gop is trapped. republican politicians will save and give the president most of of what he wants. the only real question is when. the answer is probably at the worst possible time when they've done even more damage to the party's brand.

been george bush and a republican, the way candy crowley asserted herself to jump to the president's defense in the second debate with mitt romney was so inappropriate it went beyond the pale. i really do not believe if that was a republican recumbent, candy crowley would have jumped in like that. going back to the 2008 campaign, the president's relationship with the reverend who was his reverence for 20 years, obama belonged to his church. he had sermon that he gave. he baptized his children, he married and presided over the marriage between president obama and michelle obama, and that got attention by the mainstream media. these were awful sermons, saying america deserve what they got from 9/11. i will not repeat a lot of the awful things the reverend said. also, really, the president's failed record in his first term. the media did not hold the president accountable when he said, if i cannot get the job done in four years, i should be a one-term president. he said that. why have we not been hearing that on the campaign trail from the mainstream media? why is it no one at the white house a

we have been on defense from day one. we have on occasions employed offensive techniques and by and large, they are pretty effective. we understand intelligence is a critical component of this battle, may be even more so than the last. but it was important then, too. we have had some reorganization of our government and we have certainly had a couple of wars. we think of afghanistan right now, and maybe that is the last point of the microcosm. is there anybody here who believes that in five years, afghanistan is going to look very much different than it did, say, two weeks before 9/11? is it going to look any different? there is a lot of blood and treasure spent, maybe not to very good effect. we final point is that's could, because we are and impatient people by nature, and because the enemy in this case is extraordinarily patient -- well, i am not going to say we can lose it, because at the end of the day, we have no choice but to win it. it will be a longer struggle if we don't appreciate that the time element is impor
